entertainment threesome

"I plan to resign next week."

Without any warning, the fat man said this while he was still drunk.

Before that, the atmosphere at the table had been very good. I don’t know if it was because they came to Shanghai to attend a concert together, but the distance between the three of them seemed to have become much closer. First, there was a nonsense.

After filling up my stomach with Haisai, I drank wine and chatted casually.

But no one noticed that as he drank one glass after another of beer, the fat man's words gradually became less and less. In the end, almost only Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong were left talking, while the man sitting silently beside them

The loneliness and determination that gradually became apparent in the eyes of the fat man on the side did not attract the attention of his companions who were already drunk.

It wasn't until the two people chatting that they could hardly find any new topics to talk about that Che Guanglong accidentally caught a glimpse of the lonely-looking figure beside him and asked casually.

"Old Duan, what are you thinking about?"

Originally, he was considering informing them of this idea the next day, which was Sunday, when he returned to Hangzhou. But for some reason, when Che Guanglong asked him, Fatty Zha took the opportunity to speak out his thoughts.

Che Guanglong was stunned. He never expected that his simple question would lead to such an answer.

"Why do you want to resign suddenly?" Che Guanglong raised his forehead, his eyebrows became more obvious, twisting like an abbreviated "eight", "What happened?"

"Who wants to resign?" Liu Kewei, who was sitting opposite Che Guanglong, raised his head and looked at Che Guanglong with a drunken look, and then followed his eyes and turned to look at the fat man sitting next to him.

, and then showed an expression of disbelief, "Uncle Duan, do you want to resign?"

"Nothing happened, I just don't want to do it anymore." Fatty Zhai said lightly.

Liu Kewei slammed the table hard and made a "bang" sound. Several empty plates almost jumped up, but the wine glass in front of Liu Kewei spun around a few times and then rolled down the table and broke into pieces.

The beer inside also spilled all over the table and then onto Liu Kewei's pants.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Kewei stared blankly at the fat man, his face downcast, "Come when you want, and leave when you don't want to do it? Well, what do you think of the team?"

"Do you want to fight with me?" Fatty Zhai raised his head and looked at him, replying calmly.

Liu Kewei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Seeing this, Che Guanglong quickly stood up and walked over to grab his hand.

"Lao Liu, don't get excited," Che Guanglong said a little surprised and helplessly, "Lao Duan just said that, why are you so angry? Besides, Lao Duan definitely didn't want to leave for no reason, you have to ask

Let’s talk after you understand.”

"Don't pull me, I really want to beat him today. Haven't we all said that we want to make good games? I treat him as a like-minded friend, but what does he think of us? Don't say the reason, don't give a reason, just say something

Are you going to leave if you don't want to do it?" Liu Kewei wanted to push Qi Guanglong away, but the latter took a lot of effort to hug him.

"Old Duan, what are you talking about? Why do you want to leave?" Che Guanglong turned to the fat man and asked, "I still remember the dream you mentioned when I first drank with you. Could it be that they were all about

Is that just saying that?”

The fat man reached for his cigarette case on the table, shook it and found it was empty, so he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into a nearby trash can. He leaned over and grabbed the pack in front of Liu Kewei.

He took out one, lit it, and took a deep breath.

"I want to make a good game, and I still think so, but I can't find my sense of existence after being here for half a month!" Fatty Zhai stared at Liu Kewei without giving in, "Plan according to the scene given by others.

I use the framework to make up stories, and my ideas and opinions are either dismissed or shelved. Any fresh graduate can do this job. What do you want me to do? What is the significance of my existence to this team? I came all the way.

Are you coming to Hangzhou just to get the salary after work every day?"

"You want the right to speak, don't you?" Liu Kewei frowned, "This is not a shameful thing. It is shameful to do things without any ambition. But the question is how long have you been here? Copywriting and planning are all this.

I have just started learning, can’t I be more patient? I have been working in this industry for six years, and I started by doing odd jobs and drawing UI diagrams!”

"Are you preaching to me? Of course I understand the truth, and I know more than you!" Fatty Zhai interrupted Liu Kewei impatiently, "It's not that I can't see my ability clearly, but I feel that in this team

Here, specifically under the 'leadership' of our chief planner, there is no hope at all! What he wants are subordinates who will move forward honestly in the direction he points. The rhythm must be completely controlled by him.

In the hands of..."

"Is there any problem with this?" Liu Kewei interrupted Fatty Zhai impatiently, "Didn't I tell you? The chief planner is the chief director. The research and development process of each project should of course be led by the chief planner.

To decide the direction, this is his responsibility and power!"

The fat man put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, nodded and said, "Yes, you have hit the point. I don't object to your conclusion, but please note that it is exactly the direction I found myself wanting.

If you are inconsistent with the main idea, you will feel that there is no hope and decide to leave the team!"

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Liu Kewei shook his head blankly, "What is the direction you want? Be specific."

"Two words: original!" Fatty Zhai said concisely and comprehensively.

"Isn't the game developed by our team our own original work?" Liu Kewei asked in confusion.

Che Guanglong also had a puzzled expression.

The fat man took a deep breath, helplessly covered his forehead and lowered his head and said, "It seems that I need to explain to you carefully what originality is."

He pointed at Che Guanglong's seat and motioned for him to sit down and talk. Then he said: "The so-called originality refers to independent creation. There may be a small part of the inspiration or concept derived from the works that have been published by previous people.

Works, but overall most of the content should be created independently by the author, rather than plagiarizing, adapting, translating, and organizing other people's works."

Having said this, Fatty Zhai paused, filled up the wine glass on his table, raised it and took a long sip, and then continued: "But in the few planning meetings I have participated in in the past half month, almost all

For the system, Director Xu will directly point out a direction and ask Lao Cao to 'reference' and 'learn from' a certain successful game. This is by no means original!"

"But we didn't copy the same game!" Liu Kewei was stunned and argued plausibly, "Didn't someone say that? Copying the same book is plagiarism, but copying many books is considered original."

The fat man shook his head expressionlessly: "To me, plagiarism is plagiarism. No matter how many copies you have, there is no essential difference."

Che Guanglong also helped to speak: "But most game companies do this now, right? The production cycle is short and the risk is low. After all, those successful games have been tested by the market. It is not only game research and development, domestic

Aren’t many industries started with the spirit of copycats?”

"We are not purely copycats!" Liu Kewei continued to defend, "We just borrowed some ideas, and definitely did not copy them in terms of expression, and we also added our own ideas in many places."

"Yes, learn from micro-innovation. There is such a term in our industry." Che Guanglong said.

"Yes, I admit that under the current national conditions, maybe the law cannot stop it, and maybe morality cannot restrain it." Fatty Zhai closed his eyes and said as if muttering to himself, "I have also used pirated software myself. Download

I have no position to accuse others of using illegal resources, nor do I have the right to ask others not to do so. However, I have my own bottom line. As a creator, in my creative process, I hope that I can at least be original.

Two words, this is my minimum persistence."

"Do you mind this?" Liu Kewei calmed down a little and looked at Fatty Zhai thoughtfully, "So you plan to resign? What are you going to do next? Change a company? You have to know, now

The practices of most domestic game companies should be similar to ours, unless you no longer do this business. Otherwise, even if you change places, you may still encounter similar situations."

"Then I'll just go home." Fatty Zhai replied without flinching.

"Then why do you want to work?" Liu Kewei still wanted to convince the other party, "Didn't you stay at home as a writer for several years? Why don't you continue to stay at home? Don't you want to make more money?"

"I don't do game planning just to make money!" Fatty Zhai was angry like a cat that had been stepped on. "Money is very important, but it's not to the extent that we have to give up the bottom line. Besides, for now,

My income as a writer is much better than my income as a game planner."

Liu Kewei grinned: "That's because you have only been in the industry for a few days. Although this industry is sometimes very hard, the salary is pretty good. I won't hide it from you. In terms of salary, Xiao She is higher than you.

I'm much taller than you, Lao Cao is much taller than you, Che'er is probably taller than Lao Cao... As for Director Xu and Manager Wang, I'm afraid they are numbers you can't imagine."

"So what? It's mine when I get it. It's none of my business how much others take. Anyway, I don't do this for money." The fat man didn't want to show weakness, "So I won't do it just for money."

Liu Kewei was amused: "Then why don't you continue to stay at home? To be honest, I'm very curious about this."

"... It's probably because of the pressure from my family. I don't think it's a problem if I don't go out all day long." The fat man's face turned a little red. He didn't know whether it was because of alcohol or shyness, and his voice lowered, "It's said that staying at home for too long is bad for your health.

, I would also be out of touch with society, and I couldn't find a girlfriend... Then they arranged for me to help in a friend's company, and forced me to go on a blind date and so on."

Hearing this, Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong couldn't bear it any longer, and they both held their stomachs and laughed wildly.
